Announced today, the ultralight Eeyo e-bike is taking on the challenges of city life in style by prioritizing agility over utility.
The best design effortlessly merges function and form—and that’s the premise behind Eeyo, the first electric bike from the e-scooter pioneers at Gogoro. Built for agility, this ultralight e-bike can be thrown over your shoulder, charged on the go, and ridden like a sport bike—so you can really hug those curves.
Featuring carbon fiber rims, fork, and frame, and a forward-leaning geometry, the Eeyo 1s is a sporty e-bike designed like a car.

E-bikes are having a moment in the COVID-19 era, as they offer a reliable form of transportation that’s both environmentally sound and socially distanced. Eschewing the traditional cargo hauler reputation of electric bikes, Gogoro is betting big on the fact that biking is fun—and that most e-bikes, well, aren’t.
Launching in the US, Europe, and Taiwan this summer, the Eeyo 1s is a carbon fiber e-bike that weighs in at an incredibly light 26.4 pounds. The pedal-assist bike has a range of 40-55 miles and a top speed of 19 mph, and Gogoro is positioning it as the sports car of the e-bike world.
"We used an automotive-grade clay model computer system to design the bike’s curvature and form," says Gogoro CEO Horace Luke.
